Book Reviews, Living in France, my author news...

I really wanted to like this book and worked hard to get to know the main character, Nora. I really like 'bad' characters and thought this one would be up my street.

Unfortunately, whilst I got to like Nora, the story and the writing style didn't work for me. I have to say, I found Nora's mixture of alcoholism and general aggressiveness a bit too much and her abuse of another character in the book (Bradzuca), really turned my stomach.

The final scenes were, frankly, unbelievable, so, sorry, this wasn't for me.

​What I did find impressive was the originality of the style and the originality of the main character and I have to congratulate the author for that.
